COLOSSAL DAHLIAS—Continued. 
Tillamook. A companion to that grand old Dah¬ 
lia, Grand Duke Alexis, it differs in color, 
being a delicate blush, deepening at the tips 
to rose pink. Its pleasing color, combined 
with its large size and free blooming habit 
will make this a prize winner. 35 cents each. 
VILLE DE LYON. Similar in form and color 
to “Mrs. Roosevelt.’* Very large flowers, of 
a most exquisite color blending, white flushed 
with pink; quilled petals. 35 cents each. 
W. W. RAWSON. The popularity which this 
novelty has acquired in the short time it has 
been on the market, speaks for itself for the 
superior feature of this flower.. The petals 
towards the center are quilled similar to the 
“Grand Duke Alexistoward the outer part 
they are more open and flat. The coir is pure 
white, overlaid with amethyst-blue. This won¬ 
derful combination gives it the appearance of 
a delicate lavender. The flowers measure from 
7 to 9 inches in diameter. See illustration. 
35 cents each. 
Yellow Duke. A splendid primrose-yellow, of 
good form. 25 cents each.
